Chapter 870 Immigrants

After sitting silently for a while,Leo got up and walked into the house. The empty place was tranquil.He noticed the door to the backyard was open,so he walked through the hall to the backyard.

Upon stepping in, he caught a distinctive herbal scent,various aromas were mixed together,creating a unique fragrance.Grandpa stood in the middle of the yard with his hands behind his back,lost in thought.

Without interrupting him,Leo stood silently for a while. Just as he was about to turn around and leave,Mr.Drake’s faint voice drifted over.”Since you still have some strength, why don’t you come and pick some herbs for me?”

In a daze,Leo walked over and picked up the bamboo basket that he had placed beside him.

“Everything you need is written in it,but do you still recognize it?”Mr.Drake gestured forward with his chin without looking at him.

Leo looked down,there was a piece of paper in the bamboo basket on which several herb names were written. These were not commonly found, but it was easy for him to recognize them.

With a slight smile,he put on the bamboo basket and walked forward.

Although it was easy to recognize,the types of herbs here were diverse and chaotic for Mr.Drake.Leo shuttled around for a while, and finally found all the needed herbs. He was panting and sweating profusely from exhaustion.

He had recently recovered from a severe illness and didn’t even know if he had fully recovered.it was just that the previous pain and torture had not recurred. After such a task,he was already exhausted.

But no matter how tired he was, he still felt much better than before. He even thought that the breath in his body had filled up a lot,and his breathing had become more solid.

“Grandpa,everything you wanted is here!”Panting heavily, sweat dripping from his cheeks,he raised his face and smiled as he handed over the bamboo basket,offering the treasure like a child.

Suddenly,he remembered that when he was a child,Grandpa had asked him to look for herbs in a bamboo basket like this. At that time, he was full of energy,but he didn’t know much about herbs. There were times when he couldn’t tell the difference.

At that time,Grandpa would always hit him with a twig a few times,cursing that he was too stupid,and unsuitable for studying medicine. Fortunately, he was taken as an apprentice. Otherwise he would have ruined his own reputation.But after scolding him,Grandpa would still explain why the herbs look the same but are so different,how to distinguish them, and the proper usage and dosage.

Time and time again,he gradually learned from such beatings,scoldings, and lessons.

Leo gained qualifications and fame as he grew up and was praised outside. He felt somewhat resentful towards Grandpa in his heart. He had strength and ability, so why didn’t he accept him as an apprentice?And also, why did he set up a mysterious last student?

And when he was outside, he could only agree vaguely and could not admit it openly.

It wasn’t until today when he stood there and experienced life and death, that he realized he lacked ability.

No matter how unconvinced she was, Silvia was stronger than him,and she hadn’t even revealed her identity to the outside. All along.he thought she was just a perfume teacher.

Her achievements in the fusion of spices and herbs amazed him.

The breeze was blowing,and he stood there with a faint smile on his face,but his face was covered with sweat Although his face was pale,his smile was comfortable and bright from the bottom of his heart.

“You……”

Just as he was about to speak,he heard a soft voice from a woman.”Leo!”

Leo turned to look toward the source of the voice.”Mom?”

Mrs. Drake rushed over in three or two steps. When she got close,she probably realized her gaffe,and slowed down a little, but he still walked up to him quickly and greeted him politely,”John!”

Then she couldn’t wait to take out a tissue, wipe the sweat off Leo’s face,and say while wiping, “You haven’t fully recovered yet. Why did you go outside to get some fresh air,and sweat all over your body? What if your illness gets worse!”

“I’m fine, I’m much better!”Leo smiled,knowing that his mother cared about him. He took the tissue and wiped his sweat,holding the bamboo basket in his other hand.”Grandpa,where should I put this?

“Go and bring it inside the house.Someone will come and pick it up,”Mr.Drake said calmly,looking into the distance.

“Then what about you…?”

Mr.Drake turned around,walked in the opposite direction, and said with his back to them, “I want to be alone for a while. Your mother and son can do whatever you want!” From NôvelDrama.Org.

The implication is to dismiss them.

“Then let’s go to the front hall first.Grandpa,don’t wait too long and be careful not to catch a cold!”Leo said a few words of concern before pulling his mother back to the front hall.

Mrs.Drake wanted to help him carry the bamboo basket,but he refused.

Not long after he put it down in the front hall,a servant came to take it away,and Mrs. Drake anxiously took his hand and sat down. Then looked him up and down carefully,nodded, and said, “It’s okay,you look better.”

Although she came here almost every two days,she was worried every time and must have looked at him carefully before feeling at ease.

“I’m really much better, and I haven’t had another attack. Don’t worry!”Leo understands his mother’s concern, but sometimes caring too much can be a burden.

In fact,since he was an adult,his parents didn’t ask too much of him,and he was used to running around by himself,but this time…it really scared them.

“Mom,I want to ask…”

Before he finished speaking,Mrs.Drake said almost simultaneously, “Son, Mom has something to tell you.”

The two paused at the same time, and it was Mrs.Drake who spoke first, “What did you want to ask?”

“It’s nothing,you can go ahead and speak,”Leo replied,not in a hurry.

Mrs.Drake continued, “I discussed it with your father and we’ve decided to immigrate to a foreign country. after you’ve recovered in a few days!”

“Immigration?!Why?”Leo was very speechless and never thought that this was what she would say.

“Actually, your father and I had this idea a few years ago, but you are studying Chinese medicine, so you must have developed better in China.And we thought then that we respect your choice and your

career can be successful.I am also pleased with your father. But I never thought that what you have learned will bring you such a disaster.If we had known that there would be such a catastrophe,we should have immigrated early, and this would not have happened!”

She was a little emotional,and even blamed herself,thinking that if he immigrated earlier,he might have. been able to avoid such a disaster.

“Mom,how can you say that!What does this have to do with what I have learned!”Leo said,puzzled.
